This fun project turned a cold, drafty attic into a family gathering space which functions as an effective “hat” on the house. Structural, mechanical, and spatial gymnastics were required to beef up the floor joists and rafters, relocate ducts, and provide a code-approved stair. The old subfloor was repurposed as interior cladding, contrasting nicely with the painted built-ins. We were fortunate to collaborate with Home Ec (interior design), as their signature eclectic style makes all their projects come to life. Photographer: Michael Kohnhorst

Our client’s objective with this renovation was to completely open up the space, and this included the removal of a washroom cutting off the kitchen from the rest of the house. Partition walls were also removed and this really visually opened up the 1st floor. Engineered floors were installed from front to back and this assisted with the continuity and floor. New windows and doors in the back of the home, as well as structural repairs to the subfloor above and spray foam made the home more comfortable and safe. The aid of the peninsula contributed to division of the spaces, yet allowed for seating and entertaining.

Purchased by the current owner in 2013, this property had been gutted to exposed brick and subfloors, leaving nothing but an open shell behind. While an extensive remodeling project was undertaken across the property as a whole, a brand-new cozy cocoon was meticulously crafted within the property’s cellar. Originally described as "A cold, dark, damp cellar where people kept mechanical equipment and not much else," this below-ground level is now a premier swim/spa/steam/sauna oasis.

Basements in houses built in the 50's face a lot of challenges when it comes to development - bulkheads, uneven floors, small windows, disintegrating plumbing, and cracked walls all need to be dealt with to provide a perfect modern finish. This basement required everything from completely new plumbing from the stack to the street, levelled breathable subfloor, spray foamed walls and rim joists, bulkheads, and a load bearing support wall.

This is a happy customers' actual home. They didn't even prepare for our photos. Did you know that many of the rooms in ads and magazines are not real and don't exist. The floors, walls, windows, furniture and shadows are placed by a computer and mouse, not by hardworking contractors. Our photos may not be perfect but they are real. 123-Floor

This modern home has a stone wall, dark cabinets and custom made steel staircase and handrail. We wanted to bring in warm wood tones to complement the other natural elements, offset the dark monotones and soften the space. We built this Island top, stair treads and landing from repurposed sub-flooring from a Pabst brewery building.The homeowner was drawn to these materials, because he liked the look and grew up in Wisconsin the birthplace of PBR. This douglas fir subflooring is on the extreme end of reclaimed, when we start it's full of nails and spikes, dirty and has huge cracks and checks. Once it's cleaned up, de-nailed, joined, epoxy filled and finished it makes a stunning and durable horizontal finish with a very unique story.
